Error: lookup plugin (ec2_zones_by_region) not found

[ryanj]

I'm seeing this error on the latest master, immediately after attempting to create a new environment w/ region set to us-west-1:

TASK [Launch the CloudFormation Template] ** fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "lookup plugin (ec2_zones_by_region) not found"}

[thoraxe]

• what versions of things are you using?
• what OS?

[ryanj]

I'm using the latest Fedora, with the latest master branches (both repos)

[thoraxe]

Yeah latest master is likely to cause you problems.

Readme indicates which tags to use for both repos. Look for an update shortly.

[ryanj]

I tried using the tags that are recommended in the README, hit the same error

@ryanj @thoraxe Just went to the same issue and diagnosed with @detiber This problem shows up when using ansible 2 and not 1.9.4 as stated in the docs. But a big WARNING needs to be added to the readme.

I'm working on a Vagrant vm to set up a demo-ansible provisioning host. I'll share tomorrow, once working.

[thoraxe]

So the fact that we explicitly state what version of Ansible is required is not sufficient?

The prerequiste is: "Ansible version 1.9.4"

You really feel you need a warning??

[ryanj]

I remember running a quick check for 2.0 support a while back, after it's initial release. However, I know I reverted to 1.9.4 after running the test... It was fine last month.

Figured it out: Fedora has updated to ansible-2.0.1.0-2 (F23+), I must have picked it up during a system update. There is an ansible1.9 package available as well, currently at ansible1.9-1.9.6-1.

I'd be in favor of adding an ansible version sanity check to the script if #79 isn't coming soon.

[jorgemoralespou]

@thoraxe I think it would be nice to be really called out as a big warning. As you can see, I failed, Ryan failed, and Wanja, from GPTE failed, so yes, I would say it's not enough. Maybe due to the fact that OS X and F23 installs ansible 2 by default.

[ryanj]

I'll offer a doc patch / bandaid: https://github.com/2015-Middleware-Keynote/demo-ansible/pull/138

And, create a new Issue for adding an ansible version sanity check

[ryanj]

The script is working much better after including the changes from #138.

Thanks for helping troubleshoot! @thoraxe @jorgemoralespou @detiber
